A co-worker's mother passed away. She was 99. He took a week off for grievance. The following happened in the middle of the week:

Coworker1: "Hey have you seen Don?"
Coworker2: "He's out this week. His mom died."
Coworker1: "Oh wow. That's harsh..."
Coworker2: "Yeah. She was 99 though, so..."
Coworker1: "Oooooh.... Niiinety-Niiine, eh?... Isn't there a bar around here called 99?"
Coworker2: "Yeah. I went the other night."
Coworker1: "Great potato skins there..."
Coworker2: "Yeah... I met this girl there. She was smokin'! Nothing happened, though. So anyway, Don's not in today."

I facepalmed so epically I think I actually morphed into Capt. Piccard for a moment. Wai2fail, guys.

Coworker One: "Before us, black people were still in the plains, throwing spears around. We picked 'em up from that hole and brought them to the greatest country of all time: AMERICA. I don't see why they're so angry. We did them a favor."

Coworker Two(with a serious expression): "Yeah, I don't know. I guess some people just don't know how lucky they are."

The next hour continued in the same fashion. I've never been more disappoint. I'm considering a different job.

People are idiots. Doesn't matter where you go. All you need to do is remove their reproductive capability.

During a discussion of the overflowing toilet in the Woman's restroom:

Coworker 1 (very prim and proper): I went in the stall the other day, and someone had forgotten to flush. I was trying to be nice so I flushed for them. TWICE! That thing just wouldn't go down! It was like a horse had gone in there.

several hours later....

A very pregnant Coworker 2: you know that turd Coworker 1 was talking about? That was me. Evidently pregnancy makes me constipated and I hadn't gone in 4 days! I TRIED to flush it, but it just kept popping back up!

I can't say I'm surprised to find racism in a place that builds war weapons.
A little scared. But it's an expected kind of scared.

It's interesting what we hear in offices of such nature...I work the other side of the defense industry...

In a meeting awhile back...

"I keep telling them, 5 years now, I keep telling them that _______ has to be installed to keep the planes in the air. We're going to have to get them grounded if they don't listen and get the _______ on those planes."
